[QUOTE="19elkhunter51, post: 1923938, member: 14169"] I am one of the long time users of Barnes bullets. The almost all the group that I hunt with use Barnes bullets. My original complaint about Barnes was the lack of accuracy. It seemed for a long time all the "premium" bullets would shoot a pattern similar to a shotgun at a hundred yards. When I started reading about Barnes bullets being more accurate I gave them a try. Accuracy with the Barnes bullet is now acceptable. As a group we look for every bullet in the animal that we can find. With the Barnes bullets that is not very often. Those that we have recovered look exactly like the pictures in the Barnes ads. To the best of our knowledge the bullets have behaved just as they are supposed to. It is hard to measure every shot but we think anything under 350 yards is going to pass through with massive damage to the internals. I think, as do others, that you may be better served with a lighter weight bullet in you current setup. The 130's would be fine for deer and smaller game. The 150's would work on the black bear. Two cents of my opinion. [/QUOTE]
